I remembered knowing so little about other reproductive issues except cyst & fibroid growing up. The very first experience I had when I shared my diagnosis among my circle was that of dismissal. My Endometriosis was simply brushed aside as another case of Fibroid & Cyst which ironically several of them had. I heard many stories from fellow warriors who were treated the same. The state of ignorance confuses them as it would usually come from the people they look up to for ‘wom

After years of creating a buzz on Endometriosis awareness through Instagram (@e4endo), E for Endometriosis was finally ACRA registered in 2017. Singapore Endometriosis Support Group (the FB Page) was set up the following year upon receiving encouraging support from Bharti (former Benign Gynae Nurse Specialist at National University Hospital) & Doctor Ma Li (an accredited Ob-Gyn specialist who runs the Endometriosis Clinic in NUH).

Hey Amazing Fam,   I took time to sit with your words, your messages, and the quiet in-between conversations that often say the most. After listening deeply, cross-checking experiences within our E for Endometriosis community, and doing the necessary ground work, I’ve refined our recommended doctors list.   This list is not driven by endorsements, affiliations, or payments. It exists because of trust that has been built over time. It is shaped by lived realities, by patterns

We all know how important statistics are in garnering attention. We’ve seen how it works be it in a workplace setting or even in school. I believe we could all agree there is a lack of statistical figures when it comes to Endometriosis here in Singapore. While there are a lot of such activities overseas, the gap here is concerning. Therefore, we have plans on equipping the community with these numbers. This is also to get more people involved by giving them the ownership to n

One of the most common questions I usually get is, “How do I get myself referred to my preferred doctor but under subsidy?” Well, you don’t. Subsidised patients are not allowed to pick their preferred doctor. If they insist, they have to ‘convert’ into private. This makes sense because we are paying for the expertise of the preferred doctor, who is usually a senior consultant specialising in the condition. But over the years, I managed to pick some useful tips and tricks that
